Monday Muse on a Tuesday

Once again, well the first time in ages actually I am stealing Monday Muse for the Purple Booker and, since we are a day ahead down here, my Monday muse is on a Tuesday Smile

Musing Mondays is a weekly meme that asks you to choose one of the following prompts to answer:

I’m currently reading…
Up next I think I’ll read…
I bought the following book(s) in the past week…
I’m super excited to tell you about (book/author/bookish-news)…
I’m really upset by (book/author/bookish-news)…
I can’t wait to get a copy of…
I wish I could read ___, but…
I blogged about ____ this past week…

Random Question: Why did you become a reader?

How could I resist such a question? Why did I become a reader? I have always been a reader, I learnt to read before I learnt to write my own name. One of my earliest memories is my middle brother, who is 4 1/2 years older than me, sitting me down and showing me his school book. I must have been no more than 3 at the time. The words and the pictures fascinated me and the fascination has never left.

Being a reader is just a part of me, like the freckles and the glasses. I can’t imagine not having a book to snuggle up with when I got to bed.

A better question for me would be why am I still a reader. That’s simple, to escape this hum drum world and have endless adventures. With my ever increasing disabilities and lack of mobility, I will never get the chance to travel and be completely free, so I read, not only is it an awesome distraction from pain but every new book is a chance for a new adventure.

So now I hand the torch, who will next in the Monday Muse challenge. And don’t forget to stop by and see the Purple Booker, she has a fantastic blog.

Happy Reading
